Exactly. It goes like this. All evidence we have up until now points toward the absence of god. (besides, the common conception of god is anachronistic, naive and human-based, it should be already dismissed because of these things - if anything, "god" could be the energy flowing through the universe, or the universe as a whole itself, but that still wouldn't make it a conscious deity. just pointing out that people can fall inside the logical traps of a fallacious deity so easily, and then completely disregard the grand power of the universe itself, which is something that indeed exists. how ironic).

If all evidence that you can currently get a grasp on suggests that gravity pulls things downwards, why do you still expect to be pulled upwards?
